About the distillery

North British Distillery, located in Edinburgh, was founded in 1885 by Andrew Usher, William Sanderson, John Crabbie and James Watson. At this time grain was only available through DCL who owned 75% of the grain market through the merger of 8 distilleries to control the production during the downturn in the whisky market. The trio decided to build in an attempt to break the chain of having to purchase through DCL. In 1887 production began and by 1890 the distillery had doubled its capacity. The distillery closed its doors during the first War but re-opened in 1920. In 1993 the distillery was acquired by Lothian Distillers & IDV, however IDV merged with DCL in 1997 forming United Distillers & Vintners meaning that North British were now partners with the team the set up to go against. Today the distillery operates under co-ownership between The Edrington Group and Diageo.
